Daily Mail and Paris immigrants

Daily Mail removes ‘Powder Keg Paris’ report after complaints

Article claimed 300,000 ‘illegal migrants’ were living in crime-ridden suburb of Saint-Denis

The piece described a “devastating report” that suggested 300,000 “illegal migrants” were living in the suburb of Saint-Denis, north of Paris, where drug dealing, crime and poverty were rising due to the “quite simple” explanation of “immigration on a mammoth scale”.

The Daily Mail article was followed up by other news sources, including the Sun, and was covered in the US on Fox News, where a host commented on the immigration statistics by saying: “They don’t really have their arms around that one, do they?”
